==Trivia==

*Smokes has a part in both [[Phobos]] and ItsHybrid's version of Deimos.
*Smokes has a personal best of 74% on [[Sonic Wave]], achieved on 3 October 2020.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OMsea1ep78</ref>
*Smokes' former name, Zeostar, comes from the starfish-like enemies from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. They are a stronger variant of Starslaps, although Zeostars are not as aggressive as Starslaps; they spend most of their time sleeping. In battle, Zeostars mainly use recovery moves to cure themselves and their allies. Zeostars are encountered in the sea and Bowser's Keep. If a character uses the Star Egg item, two Zeostars and a Starslap dance around the screen.
*Coincidentally, Smokes beat [[The Golden]] on the same day he verified Plasma Pulse Finale seven years earlier.
*On 13 March 2026, uploaded a video in which he would get a record of 21% on [[ORBIT]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_sJnN1lGI0</ref> He stated that he finds the level very enjoyable, playing it for fun to see how far he would get.
